Craving a home-cooked meal while traveling and visiting the
sites of Indiana, well there are many places to look. One of those
places is in Gibson County; it has the oldest restaurant in
Indiana, The Log Inn. It played host to President Lincoln and was a
stop in the Underground Railroad. They serve a family style meal
for groups 3 and over.
For a family friendly restaurant in Indianapolis, Chef Mike’s
Charcoal Grill is a great place to go. The menu has a wide range of
food and has a Sunday Brunch. If your in Fort Wayne and craving a
steak BakerStreet is your place to enjoy a great tasting steak.
They specialize in steaks but also other food choices, even a
vegetarian selection.
The Loft at Traders Point is a great place to eat, especially for
the organic lovers. This is Indiana’s only 100% organic restaurant,
everything comes from the farm straight to the table. The night you
go depends on what you will eat, every night is themed, like
Tuesdays are Tappas, Wednesdays are Organic Pizza night, and then
on Sunday it is a family style dinner. The atmosphere is fun and
casual, good for all ages.
For people who are traveling without children and want a more fine
dining experience, The Quarry in Kokomo is the best place to go.
The chef prepares only fresh, from scratch meals and some of the
ingredients are even from local suppliers. The atmosphere is quiet
with soft music playing in the back ground. They are open for lunch
and dinner. Another fine dinning restaurant that is a must is in
Indiana’s capital, Sangiovese Ristorante. It is like traveling to
Italy, with fresh Italian food, wine, and even art. They have
weekly jazz bands and wine tastings. It was voted “Most Romantic
Restaurant in Indianapolis.”
